Specify the Cisco AM GW routing policy
This is where you can set up policy rules to control which calls can use the Cisco AM GW.
1. Go to the
Advanced Media Gateway policy rules
page (
VCS configuration > Advanced
Media Gateway > Policy rules
).
2. Click New. You are taken to the
Create Advanced Media Gateway policy rule
page.
3. Configure the fields as follows:
To configure an Allow rule
e.g. allow John@company.com to use the
Cisco AM GW
e.g. allow John@company.com to use the
Cisco AM GW
To configure a Deny rule
e.g. deny all
e.g. deny all
Rule name
As required, e.g. “Allow John”
As required, e.g. “Deny All”
Description

Priority
e.g. 100
e.g. 500
Pattern type

Action

Note: even when Advanced Media Gateway policy mode is On, all calls to and from OCS/Lync will
still use the Cisco AM GW unless specific policy rules deny its use. When using policy, it is usual to
set up a set of allow rules for allowed personnel, then at the lowest priority set up a “Deny all” rule
(Pattern type = Regex, Pattern string = .*)
